In this paper, we prove that the harmonious coloring problem is NP-complete for connected interval and permutation graphs. Given a simple graph G, a harmonious coloring of G is a ...

: We present an improved upper bound of O(d1+ 1 m−1 ) for the (2, F)-subgraph chromatic number χ2,F (G) of any graph G of maximum degree d. Here, m denotes the minimum number of...
In [13], Erd˝os et al. defined the local chromatic number of a graph as the minimum number of colors that must appear within distance 1 of a vertex. For any ∆ ≥ 2, there are ...
An orthogonal coloring of a graph G is a pair {c1, c2} of proper colorings of G, having the property that if two vertices are colored with the same color in c1, then they must hav...
We show that every NP problem is polynomially equivalent to a simple combinatorial problem: the membership problem for a special class of digraphs. These classes are defined by me...
